Its 3:00 am, curious thoughts running through my mind.
Answers to Paradoxical riddles impossible to find.
Push pause, then stop, then play, and then rewind.
Every game has a royal flush, a full-house and a two of a kind.
So many things to contemplate, is it by choice or is it fate?
Doubt leads to undoubtedly new terrain, where it crosses the black and white borders of remarkably insane.
Will I live? or will I die? Will I fall or will I fly?
A grim smile marks the memories of my bitter past.
Will this day be better than the last?
Eyes trained to only see in the dark abyss.
A maniacal laughter escapes my lips.
Hahahahaha Why so serioussssss?
A tick , a tock
a small cell block.
A ding, a dong
A slow fuse bomb.
A smile, a frown a princely clown.
Is chaos so chaotic if it gets people to move?
Is it really a crime if there's nothing to prove?
An anarchy circus with nothing to lose.
A poker face, when you're not able to choose?
A face behind a clown mask, a mask behind that face,
Lets just pour some gasoline and set fire to this whole place.
A memory so dark that it could never see the light.
Would you believe as a child i was afraid of the night?
Now I rule it with a sharp wit and an even sharper knife!
A soul taken, in exchange for a tortured life.
Laughter is what keeps me alive!!!
You have to depart before you can arrive.
My mind lost in a mix between shadows and lunacy enveloping my brain.
No one gets the joke? Hahahaha Its so funny Seriously? Now that's what I call insane.
How can no one get it? Am I charged with getting them to see?
That is why I (Yes I) created Batman, The Batman wouldn't exist without me!!!
Isn't everyone only one or two traumatic life-changing events or one bad day away from madness?
To keep from being touched by the sadness?
Paint on a face that's always smiling, and then my friend your mind has won, because when you look at the clock now you can laugh because ...its only 3:01
Hello Ashkitten83. RainbowOfGayness here.
As a huge fan of Batman and The Joker, this is absolutely fantastic! I love this so much. The rhymes, the use of the "Why so seriousssss" and the "The Batman wouldn't exist without me!!!" It gives us a very detailed look into the mind of Joker. I love it all. The entire poem is amazing. I don't think there's anything wrong with it at all. You keep writing, my friend.
This is fricken awesome! I have to admit I was slightly skeptical when I saw it was about one of my favourite villains but I thought 'well I ought to give it a shot' and I'm sooo glad I did! I love this so much. I could see this as his inner musings without question.
Heya!
Saw this and I was like "Hm. A poem about the Joker, the Clown Prince of Crime, one of my favorite villains of all time (rhyme not intended)," so I checked it out, obviously, and here are some things that you might want to take a second look at:
Firstly, you should fix the formatting. I know it's tedious, but it helps reviewers like me know where each stanza starts and ends. And in this case, this is a problem since your rhyming scheme is not that consistent - at least it doesn't seem consistent. To me the rhyme scheme looks it's an AABBC, but again I'm not that sure.
Also your rhythm is a bit off at some points, specifically at the really long lines e.g.

Hello Tuesday here for a review. I like to begin that I don't really do reviews on dark poems like this one YET this one seemed to catch my eye in the poems since I love the Joker or anything Batman related. Anyway, i like the idea of going into the mind of him and within that minute of his mind, there are many things that one person can think of (many poems try to do this and sometimes, they don't use it nicely). Also the some imagery within this poem too (very little) but that little can make a different.
Nitpick(s):
I don't think you need the comma there since it would sound the same without it (maybe you are trying to make a breathe mark there or something.)a full, house and a two of a kind.
maybe changing this to That is why I, yes myself, created Batman who wouldn't exist without me! or something.That is why I (Yes I) created Batman, The Batman wouldn't exist without me!!!
WOAH, let me tell you this. This was something 
Okay I loved this realllyyyy. It had a mixture of terror and charm at the same time. The flow of words and the way you've rhymed it is brilliant.
"A tick , a tock
a small cell block.
A ding, a dong
A slow fuse bomb.
A smile, a frown a princely clown."
THIS PART. If you say it out loud in different tones, it still seems terrific and that's just amazing. And that's how you determine if this is true horror or not.
"Paint on a face that's always smiling, and then my friend your mind has won, because when you look at the clock now you can laugh because ...its only 3:01"
The ending, the way you've put it is awesome. It brings out the real state of mind of the joker. The way in a minute all the thoughts have just rushed through his mind. The way you wrote the whole thing, it didn't seem for a minute that it was rushed. That's good. And it was a pleasant surprise. It makes the joker look terrifyingly smart and weird at the same time.
Bless me with your rhyming skills please? I bless you with smiles
